Heather Mills gave Paul McCartney an ultimatum in the early stages of their relationship—marry me or it's over—says a former friend in a British TV show airing tonight. Heather's buddy also talks about their time together as high-priced prostitutes, reports the Daily Mail. "Heather knows how to play people, she's very clever," she says. "They're besotted, like enchanted, you know—like she throws fairy dust all over them."

The friend, Denise Hewitt, also says that Heather knocked Paul's age, saying, "Well look at me, I'm marrying an old man with bigger tits than me." Mills has denied being a call girl, but Hewitt defends the work—or at least the pay and the perks, including jewelry and cars. "It was experiencing something we couldn't have experienced if we hadn't done this," she says.
